MAYDAY! MAYDAY! PARTNERS
When conditions for asylum seekers at the border became intolerable in 2017-18, faith-based organizations stepped up to provide humanitarian aid. The Interfaith Welcome Coalition (IWC) in San Antonio, with which DWCC has worked in the past, manages enormous efforts from central Texas to southern border locations. DWCC will transport donations to the border where they will be distributed by an IWC affiliate, El Buen Samaritano Migrante. Money donations will be accepted and tracked by IWC and another affiliate, Unitarian Universalists of New Braunfels. Donations are tax deductible.
